Consumer Description

Lately the automatic braking system has been applying the brakes unnecessarily when there's nothing in front of me. That is an escalation from the at least 3-4 times a week the brake sign will light up and the steering wheel will shake to let me know to brake but there's no car in front of me but rather a car in the lane going the opposite direction. I love in West Virginia and there's a lot of two lane roads and it happens a lot of those two lane roads. Even ones that are clearly marked with lines. I have not taken it in to the dealer but have been in groups that have complained of the exact same issue. This happens from. Highway speeds to low town speeds as well.
